SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No.

Application filed May 26,1903. Serial No. 158,833.

To all 11/71/0771, it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN H. PET iOSKEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at city of Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Floor-Racks, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein tothe accompanying drawings.

. .y invention relates to improvements in IQ hat, coat, and umbrella racks; and the objects of my invention are to provide a rack that shall be simple and easy to construct, easily taken apart and assembled, and that will be strong and rigid after being set up. I attain these 5 objects by the construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in whicl Figure l is a general View of the rack. Fig. 2 is a side view of one of the legs, showing the attached segment of the socket for the standard; Fig. 3 is a plan of the umbrellaholder. Fig. i is a side View of the hat and coat holder, showing also the supporti ng parts for the same in section. Fig. 5 is a plan of the cap. Fig. 6 is a plan of the guide-ring.

2 5 Fig. 7 is a detail of the segment of the socket; and Fig. 8 is a plan oi the socket, the stand ard being shown in section. Fig. 9 is an elevation of pin R.

Similar reference characters refer to like 3 parts throughout the several views.

The central upright standard A is supported by the legs B, each oi which is provided with an upwardly-extending part (1, resting against and assisting to support the standard A.

3 5 Each leg has a segntiental part D01" such shape that whenthe legs are assembled the segments collectively form a socket for the standard. The parts are secured together by means of bolts passing through the aperture F of one 4 piece and between the lugs E of the adjacent .piece. The socket thus formed is slightly smaller than the standard, so that when the nuts on the bolts are screwed up the standard will be firmly held in the socket. The depending ball G may be attached to one part of the socket or be supported in any other desirable manner.

Just below the socket are the hooks H, one

on each leg. supporting the drip-pan 1. Supported by the standard A is the umbrellaholder J, which is attached to the standard by the screw K.

The hat and coat hooks or holders L are supported by the eap-piece M, revoluble on A, and their lower ends are guided by the ring N. The supports are first hooked into the loops 0 of this guidering and then placed between the lugs P of the cap-piece, being supported by the pins It, resting on said lugs. The cover S engages projecting curved lingers T on the holders,

preventing them from moving outward, while the pins It prevent the fingers slipping oii' the lugs. The cover S is held down by the bolt V, which passes up through the cap-piece M and the cover S and is engaged by the central upright piece WV, which is extended upward, as shown in Fig. 1. The hat and coat holders, together with the cap-piece and ring N. may be revolved around the central standard or by means of a set-screw a may be held against rotation, as may be desired.

Having now described my construction, what I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a floor-rack, the combination of legs, a segment oi a socket carried by each leg, said segments being secured together for forming a socket, an u n'ight standard securely held by and in said socket, means at the lower end of the socket upon which the lower end of the standard is adapted to rest to limit its downward movement, and a coat-support carried by said standard.

2. In a floor-rack, the combination of the legs, a segment of a socket carried by each leg, an inwardly-extending flange at the lower end of each segment, bolts for securing said socket-segments together, an upright standard securely held in said socket and resting upon said flanges, whereby the same is prevented from slipping downwardly, and a revoluble coat-support carried by said standard.
